The Payroll Professional Learning Series
On-Going Classes Through Century College

The American Payroll Association, through a strategic alliance with the American Association of Community Colleges' National Council for Continuing Education and Training, has developed The Payroll Professional Learning Series. The courses are designed for both business professionals who wish to enhance their payroll expertise through continuing education and for students working towards a degree. Both CEUs (continuing education units) and college credits will be available to those who successfully complete the courses.

The three-course program establishes Payroll education as a college-level pursuit, firmly seated next to existing courses in Finance, Accounting, and Human Resources. Click here for Course Information <opens a new window>

College Credit and Professional Development

The curriculum is designed to be offered in three ways:

As non-credit certificate courses for general professional development.

Completion of individual courses will enhance students' knowledge and skills for career advancement. Educational institutions will award CEUs (Continuing Education Units) and Certificates of Achievement for each course.

As preparation for the Certified Payroll Professional Certification Examination. Completing all the courses in the learning series is an excellent way to prepare for the CPP Certification Examination.

As credit-bearing courses for degree-seeking learners. An excellent complement to existing degree-based financial curriculums.
